My Yahoo! Blog

Hello, I’m your content wrangler.

There’s a great big world of content out there—how do you find the best stuff for your page? One option is to browse our content directory. As your editor, I roam the Internet looking for the best content available across all kinds of subjects. When I find feeds from publishers who are reliable authorities on a topic or who have something unique to say on the subject, I round them up into categories where I hope they’ll be easy for you to find.

– Like to cook? Check out the Lifestyles category and dig into the Food & Drink feeds.
– Follow tech trends? Pick your specialty from Technology.

My goal is to supply you with feeds that bring you frequent, relevant, compelling content on the topics that interest you most.

Our content directory has undergone many evolutions during the years I’ve been part of the My Yahoo! team. We’re trying to keep it easy to use, yet comprehensive—a tough balance to strike. Tell me what you think. And if you don’t find what you need, remember, the directory is a fraction of all the content available for your page. Use the content search box to explore the millions of available feeds.

I’ll be back to talk about more of the things a My Yahoo! editor spends her time doing. But for now, it’s back to the wild, wild Web.

Giddyup,

Rebecca
My Yahoo! Editor

Stay right there.

Since My Yahoo! is your home on the Web, we figured we should make it easier for you to get comfy. So we set out to give you better ways to customize your page. Around here, we call it the inline extravaganza. That’s how we refer to letting you do more on your page itself, or inline.

No more navigating off your page to add content, change your layout, modify your settings or see what your page would look like in a new color. Now, all that is possible right from your page.

But we didn’t think that was quite enough. So we added a reader option that lets you view articles without leaving your page. Then we created module-specific controls (like how many items you want displayed in a module). Oh, and we improved the article previews (the little snippets that show up when you mouse over a headline) too.

We hope you like what we’ve done with the place.
